Phillip Allen of Vassalboro is a senior from Erskine Academy enrolled in the Machine Tool with Welding program. His current project in class is a C-clamp, which he constructed on a milling machine and is now making the threads on a lathe. He has enjoyed being able to apply himself and work hard in the program. When he is not in school, Phil can be fly fishing or working on his truck. He just completed installing new fuel injectors on his truck. His instructor, Mr. Darryl Nadeau, says, “Phil does good work, he asks good questions, and is here every day. I couldn’t ask for a better student.” Phil has been accepted at the University of Maine’s Mechanical Engineering program. He hopes to pursue a career in the field of diesel and hydraulics.
